There are probably better sources than the following, but I can
tentatively suggest Isaac Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare (New York:
Avenel, 1979 -- reprint). Each chapter on a specific play includes a
map of the region in which it takes place.

Isaac Asimov, in his two volume "Guide to Shakespeare" (Doubleday 1979),
prefaces the discussion of each play with a clear map showing the play's
loci, and a discussion of any difficulties in this regard. The maps are
quite good, but, of course, the work in still in copyright. While I
doubt that Isaac would have called his book "Shakespeare for Dummies,"
it has a similar popularizing and simplifying purpose.

Dear Ray Lischner:
You need a map of Britain, not England.
